ALBANY — State GOP leaders are floating Rep. Chris Gibson as a potential 2014 challenger to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but so far, the new congressman for Ulster and Sullivan counties isn’t biting.

“While the Congressman is clearly flattered that his name has been mentioned as a candidate for Governor, his focus remains on serving the residents of the 19th District,” said spokeswoman Stephanie Valle.

Gibson has been in Congress since 2011 and was listed in 2012 as the most liberal Republican in the House by National Journal. He also served in the Army, rising to colonel.
